Homemade Pizza - YES you can

We had home-style pizza at a restaurant last Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sandra said, "I can do that". So we did for lunch today. First step was to make a yeast dough, let it rise, then punch down and form the crust. (don't know why I can't get the picture to load horizontally as I took it)
Then you decide what you want on it. We lightly coated the dough with oil and put down a THIN layer of sauce (actually some of Sandra's spaghetti sauce from the freezer). We decided to make two pizzas, one salami and one Italian sausage.
The meat was followed by a layer of thinly sliced tomato; we wanted some fresh basil but that will have to wait for the plants to grow a bit more before picking it.
Sprinkle on some Italian seasoning instead of the basil and then some mozarella cheese.
Pop into a 475 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
Perfect, especially when served with a Clendenen 2008 vintage Marionberry wine cooler.
Now, you try and let me see what you can do!
